I'm used to see a SHA-1 posted on the app maker's website, and then I go into Terminal and type...

Code:

openssl sha1 <path to download>

Sincerely,

Debbie

The link I posted points you to the site where the FileZilla developers have made available a text file that contains the valid hashes for all of the different platforms (i.e. Mac, Windows, Linux etc.).

Check this value against the one that is posted by the developers in the text file (I just cut and paste the value from terminal into the text file, it is very easy to spot any differences) if they match, then you are okay.

Thanks for the response, but I think there is a little bit of disconnect...

As I mentioned the file that contains the hashes (FileZilla_3.7.1.1.sha512) is a TEXT file. Save it, open it with TextEdit and look for the appropriate hash for the file that you downloaded. In this case line #2 in the file.

The "dgst" is part of the command syntax for checking the file.

I do not know all of the "in's" and "out's" of using OPENSSL, I know enough to get done what I need.
